No, no, no. The angels are not Laura, Annie, or anyone else we know.
The two angels are not even the same actress. The angels were simply
protector spirits, guardians. 'you fall faster and faster and the angels
can't help you...' Laura was falling too fast. Ronette started praying
and an angel showed up for her.
Frankly, I thought the inclusion of angels in this saga simply muddled
the issues more. Just pulls in yet another major myth cycle
(judeo-christian) That only *appears* to have some meaning.

This seemed to be the wrap up from the train car. Ronette was not falling
so fast that she couldn't be saved in the 'real' world. Laura was
targeted by BOB for attack, so she died rather than open up, and that
was her triumph. She defeated BOB, and her angel came to show her (or us)
that it all turned out OK. SHe's fine. Saved. Just like Darth Vader.
